Refuses To Order Switch Under Rail Rate Law
The Interstate Commerce Commission ruled in a Geneva case against Barden & Swarthout versus Lehigh Valley Railroad, dismissing the complaint for failure to provide a written switch-connection application. The suit sought a switch to an industrial siding. a verbal 1904 understanding existed, but the parties would not sign a coal-only stipulation, the railroad refused the switch, and the case lapsed in court. The amended act prompted the filing, seeking a switch order and damages, amid questions on railroad rights over siding-connected business and safety concerns.

Railroads Under Fire In Antitrust Probes
Attorney General Bonaparte weighs action on a broad Sherman antitrust case involving most railroads south of the Ohio River and east of the Mississippi. The charge centers on agreements to raise shipping rates for yellow pine lumber to northern markets. Courts and commissions have varied rulings, with the Supreme Court affirming the Interstate Commerce Commission on legality concerns. Judge Speer ruled the traffic agreements violated anti pooling provisions and shown a conspiracy to restrain trade. Government authorities view the case as strong due to the confirmed conspiracy element and await further action.
